About This Feature

Overview

Alignment Method helps you adjust paragraph layout in Smart Documents on iOS so content appears left-aligned, centered, or right-aligned. After entering editing mode, select the target paragraph and open Alignment & Indent to switch between alignment options.

Core capabilities include:

Left Align: useful for body text, lists, and continuous reading content.
Center Align: useful for titles, cover text, and short highlighted paragraphs.
Right Align: useful for signatures, dates, and short content that should appear on the right side.

Capability Summary	On iOS Smart Documents, you can switch between left, center, and right alignment from Alignment & Indent while editing.	Word on mobile supports paragraph alignment, including left, center, right, and justified text.	Google Docs on iPhone and iPad supports paragraph alignment from the Format → Paragraph menu.	Notion mobile provides indent, un-indent, and styling tools, but its official help says traditional alignment options are not available at the moment.	Acrobat on iOS focuses on adding and editing PDF text, and its mobile help does not provide a comparable paragraph alignment workflow for document editing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The alignment entry is grouped in Alignment & Indent for quick switching between common paragraph layouts. Distinct: It fits directly into the Smart Document editing flow on iOS.	Compared with WPS: Word offers more paragraph alignment types, including justified text, but the controls depend on Word's mobile formatting interface.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs also supports mobile paragraph alignment, but the path goes through Format → Paragraph.	Compared with WPS: Notion does not provide a native traditional paragraph alignment button in its official workflow.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is centered on PDF modification rather than Smart Document paragraph layout.

Overall Conclusion
WPS is well suited to quick paragraph formatting in Smart Documents on iOS, especially when you want a simple path for title and body alignment. If you need broader paragraph formatting options, Microsoft Word and Google Docs provide more extended controls, while Notion and Adobe focus on different editing models.
